Organisers of Puffins Galore! are ready to take delivery of 40 giant models of the seabirds which will be painted and then placed at towns and landmarks to create a new sculpture trail across the region.

But first they need to find the giant puffins a temporary home for two months where the artists can work to transform the birds into a colourful, eye-catching attraction.

Clare Huby, co-director of Puffins Galore! said: “Ideally, we need an area of around 3,000 sq ft with lorry access and big practical doors so that our puffin crane can get in and out.”
